Abstract

Poetry learning is an integral part of Indonesian language education with the potential to develop students’ language skills comprehensively. However, poetry learning in secondary schools is still often oriented toward mastering literary theory and has not fully optimized listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. This study aims to analyze poetry learning strategies applicable at the secondary school level and their contribution to improving students’ language skills. The study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were obtained from relevant scientific articles, books, proceedings, and educational policy documents, prioritizing publications from 2021–2026. The data were analyzed through reduction, classification, synthesis, and interpretation. The findings indicate that Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning, contextual learning, Experiential Learning, and collaborative learning can increase student engagement. These strategies support listening skills through appreciation activities, speaking through poetry reading and presentation, reading through meaning interpretation, and writing through literary creation. The use of digital media also enriches learning experiences while supporting digital literacy and twenty-first-century competencies. Therefore, poetry learning can serve as an integrative medium for developing students’ language competencies comprehensively.
